He's on a par with Harry Reid.
Shut up, idiot Newt!
“We’re about to enter the seventh year of this phony war against ... [terrorist groups], and we’re losing.”
Very, VERY dumb thing to say. I don’t care if it’s taken out of context or if it’s not what he meant, Newt should know better.
Odd - I thought Newt, like millions of Americans, have noticed that Emperor Jorge has no clothes on, err border fence. How can you fight a war on terror when the borders are left open with Bush wanting to offer amnesty to all illegals - unless it is phony?
Bush’s plan to invade the world and invite their pissed off muslim and hispanic relatives here for taxpayer freebies is lame.
LOL!
And the rest of your post is spot on, too.
every time I hear this guy open his mouth its more BS from that guy. I was not into politics in the 90’s but this guy should just STFU already. His time has come and gone.
Wouldn't call it a phony war, but its definitely not a total war. I think thats been our problem since US troops finished their successful invasion effort and take down of Saddam's brutal regime. Fighting a PC war with our troops as cops on the beat, obviously hasn't been the right approach
>>>>> "None of you should believe we are winning this war. There is no evidence that we are winning this war,"
True. Lets hope the surge is successful.
The man is absolutely dead on correct. If we were serious, we wouldn’t be continuing to pay those who would see us dead, money for their oil.
There is no drive behind the war
Not one Leader in this country has ever come out to win public support.
There has not been ANY attempt by the government to get the civilian workforce rallied behind a war effort.
There are NO smoking ruins of arabic cities anywhere in the world even tho the first thing our president said was “You’re either with us or with the terrorists”.
Bullshit.
I know our boys are fighting and dying and getting wounded overseas fighting these people. But this is not a serious war.
It never has been.
I understand your point. MY point is that it is very irresponsible to say the words "we are losing" right now, with the way the press twists and takes things out of context to serve their own agenda.
Sounds like he’s about ready to jump on the global warming bandwagon.I agree that we need to become more energy independent. We have plenty of resources, take oil shale for example, but the cost of getting it is high. Perhaps incentives to corporations or privately owned companies who invest in new technologies with tax credits, etc to motivate them?
Every time this guy opens his mouth, my mind shuts a little more on him.
Good analysis.
If Hillary is nominated (and she will be) those same morons will put aside any personal feelings about how nasty and fake she is and will dutifully pull the lever for her. As will the dead, illegal and felon constituencies.
You know, I normally don’t read auras, but rank egotism simply oozes from Newt Gingrich
Good, this should keep him out of the race as a serious contender. Go Fred go!
What he isn't saying, presumably knows, and is himself cynically ducking, is that no real constituency exists for a serious policy in the matter. Instead he pretends the problem is partisanship in some equal sense and can be avoided by just having a group hug and agreeing to be more grown-up. Sorry, that's juvenile itself. He is right in the diagnosis but unwilling to call the left what it is. Everybody is afraid of an utterly irresponsible left and the public support it commands.
And as a result, no one including Newt is living up to the height of the times, or telling the whole truth to the American people.
PS: Hillary Clinton will lose the women vote despite all the stupid conventional wisdom, and of course she will badly lose the men vote.
I agree with you. Look who’s STILL funding the war with money and troops, the Saudis.....and of course they embolden Iran.....who now recruit in eastern Europe.
Back at home...we’re supposed to believe there’s a WOT when that pussy Chertoff whines “it’s too hhaaaarrrddddd to secure our borders”
Right. Go sell stupid somewhere else Chertoff while 7000+ “unknowns” stroll across our borders each and every week.
WOT?
I don’t think so.
I suppose Newt thought Pearl Harbor and WWII was all about oil, too. Some historian.
Dear Newt:
Get in or shut-up.
Exactly!
Newt is in a generalissimo batttle with Obama.
